Reality v.s. Expectations: Mind the Gap

I have a friend. She has big dreams, a vision for success and plan to make things happen. Her enthusiasm is magical and she lights up the room when she discusses her passions. What's the problem? She's a bigger than life person with a bigger than life attitude. Well, that's just the problem. She is bigger than life. She controls her destiny and she knows no limits, but what about others? She talks to others and cheer with her, "Hooray!" but who stands next to her at the end of the day? Far too often, she is disappointed, not discouraged, by the reality that her expectations can sometimes be too high.

My friend's problem is that she does not mind the gap. Everyone isn't as high-energy, high impact or even half...as interested as she is.We think, we strategize, we plan, we execute. We don't always succeed, but the point is that we tried. The more you try, the more you'll know, the more you'll learn to accurately gauge your expectations so that they can align with reality.
